You see, during installation you need about 2,5 times the space it takes after install, which is already a lot. My laptop has limited free space available on the program files drive (an SSD).

That was annoying, not only for the time it takes to get all of my settings right every time*, but also because of the trouble I had to get XE7 to install on my laptop the first time. From there I learned that installing Update 1 would involve a complete uninstall and reinstall of XE7. So I closed Delphi again and explicitly launched the Check for Updates icon from the start menu.Įrrr…? Right. So, I happily launched my XE7 installation to see if the the update was announced or offered. Yesterday I learned that XE7 now has an update “Update 1” available. After copying it from the original XE7 ISO, and a reboot after the (now successful) uninstallation, XE7 Update 1 is currently installing in the background.Įmbarcadero: your Delphi or RAD studio update experience sucks. I must have missed it when moving the folder, I cannot think of another explanation. Well, the moved folder was missing one quite important file (setup.exe). I already mentioned that I moved the installation folder over to another drive using a junction point to reference it from its original location. Though I still think the update experience is not as smooth as it could be (most of the points I mention below are still valid), and the error message I was getting was in no way related to what was actually wrong, the original fault was probably my own. Latest update (11:45): I finally managed to install Update 1.
